The Grand Canyon

I'm in Tucumcari tonight; in other words, I didn't make it very far. I didn't go to the Grand Canyon, but I did see several Kaibab squirrels with Dr. Spock ears. I'll find a pic for you; you just have to see them.

I stopped in Gallup today, missing the All-Indian Nations Pow Wow by one week. I'm bummed. Gallup is the best place in the world, I think, to buy Indian jewelry or crafts. The craftspeople often come in from the reservations and sell their wares. I spent a few hours mogging through the jewelry and craft stores. It was really fun, but it put me a bit behind.

Tomorrow I go through the Texas panhandle then into Oklahoma. If you ever go through Oklahoma City, just a few miles off the freeway is a memorial for the children killed at the Murray Federal building. Swing by and see it. It's heartbreaking.

Well, I'm heading to bed. Until tomorrow, thanks for the prayers. I almost crashed into an idiot Audi driver today who thought he'd dart in front of me. I missed him by a hair and your prayer. So until tomorrow, sleep tight.
